I am a witch, I must suppress all enemies

Claire was a fool. She didn't notice Miss Raziel's strong desire to go to the Royal Capital Library.

So Raziel had to go by himself in anger.

"A magician like her, going out alone, won't she be in danger?"

"Forget it, never mind."

Because Miss Claire has something very important to do now, which is to find Arya's whereabouts.

As soon as the sun rose, small business operators in the capital got up and rushed to purchase goods and open their businesses.

Xila and the others haven't come back yet. How about some breakfast? It seems like I haven't eaten in a long time.

Before she could decide what to eat, she felt that several unknown people were secretly following her.

Although she tried her best to hide her fighting spirit, Claire's perception was extremely sharp.

"Heh~ Isn't he just an ordinary punk?"

Each of them is at the spirit-inducing level, and they should be checking the adventurers entering the city.

According to Raziel, any magician who wants to "lure" Harun must pledge allegiance and accept Harun's mission.

Specifically, it is about seizing the "Last Sword", a holy weapon that is praised as miraculous by both forces and was the sword of Emperor Argonne.

This sword has a strong inhibitory effect on practitioners. Some people speculate that it is because the level of holy light inside is very high, while others believe that it is stained with the blood of "God".

Claire didn't want to get involved. According to Raziel, they only needed to create chaos and provide support. The actual combat would be carried out by Harlan's paladins.

After a while, the presence of those stalkers disappeared, probably because they didn't notice anything wrong with her.

Claire munched on the apple she had just bought at the stall. "Is this such a joke? I thought there were some magic items to test whether someone is a magician or not."

But then again, it's only a few silver coins a month, are you risking your life? If you really run into a magician, these guys won't have a good time.

Claire looked towards the north gate of Ard, where refugees from all directions were constantly entering the city from afar.

The war did have some impact, with abandoned villages and manors, people looking sickly, and their skinny bodies unable to be hidden under their tattered clothes.

From time to time, she would meet people who volunteered to be slaves on the road, which moved Claire somewhat.

Along the way, she saw many such scenes, but she still couldn't become indifferent.

"This is a cruel world for the weak."

"The powerful can wreak war willfully and recklessly, leaving millions of people dead."

"What's more, there are practitioners."

She was speechless, thinking of the battle between the adventurers and the slaves of death. In an instant, those ordinary people turned to ashes.

The unfortunate merchants, as well as the maids and cooks, who also had their own families, were simply drawn into this kind of battle...

Finally, Claire stopped at the door of the cathedral but did not go in.

Her subtle sixth sense told her that once she crossed this threshold, something terrible would probably happen.

Suddenly, Claire seemed to see an extremely powerful swordsman inside. Holding a sword, he said coldly, "You followed the trend and stopped at the door. It's not a big deal. If you dare to take another step forward, the world will be turned upside down."

? ?

Claire broke out in a cold sweat. Was that an illusion? No!

That was the strong man inside using the sword intent to warn those outside with ulterior motives!

Claire turned around and left without saying anything.

"Something's wrong!"

I ran to a street farther away and looked at the bustling crowd around me.

There seemed to be passers-by pretending to be indifferent, but she caught the occasional gleam in their eyes.

“I’m being targeted??”

"Has the magician's identity been exposed?"

Claire secretly groaned in her heart.

Not daring to stay, I went straight back to the inn, just in time to see Raziel coming back with some books.

Claire grabbed Raziel's hand and pulled her to the corner.

"What's wrong?" Miss Raziel's face flushed slightly, like peach blossoms under the sunset, although faint but very obvious.

Her lips were tightly closed, but the corners of her mouth seemed to unconsciously rise slightly, forming an almost invisible arc.

"Did anything good happen?"

"Something's gone terribly wrong. We're being targeted!"

"Eh?"

Claire told Miss Raziel what had just happened. Raziel bit her pink lips and was at a loss.

"What should we do? How about we run away? Otherwise, if we get caught... Raziel doesn't want to be tied to a log and turned into a roasted chicken."

Roast chicken? That was indeed roasted. The image of the witch being stripped like an eggshell and then roasted over the fire.

But that's not the point.

"The question is, since he discovered our identities as magicians, why didn't that powerful man come and capture us?"

Miss Claire didn't know yet that she was being targeted purely because of the Death Slave.

Her expression turned grim. "Turtle. Could it be that your attempt to seize the Holy Sword has already been exposed? They're just waiting to catch you all in one fell swoop!"

"Run! Oh, and where are the people from your magic society? If not, notify them..."

Raziel's face turned pale. "No. The Yard is too big. I can't find them."

"Don't you know where they are hiding? There's no other way, Raziel, you should leave the city first. I'd rather die than let my friends die. I think the magicians of your association will probably die here." Claire said unscrupulously.

"how about you?"

"I still have things to do!"

"no--"

Before she finished speaking, Claire knocked Raziel unconscious with a knife. She said to herself,

"I'm sorry. Although we haven't been together for long, you're a gentle child. Even if you escape alone, the battle that's coming up isn't one you can participate in."

"Sheila, they are warriors, so it's okay..."

"I just need to make sure Arya is okay, and then I'll leave immediately."

Put Raziel in the carriage and prepare to leave the city gate.

"The kingdom has ordered that adventurers like you are forbidden from leaving the city for the next few days!"

Claire's face changed drastically. Only then did she notice that the soldiers at the city gate were originally just ordinary soldiers, but now they were all knights of the divine revelation level.

"Why? Why are we adventurers forbidden from leaving the city?"

The leading knight raised the portrait in his hand and sneered, "Your name is Claire, right? I heard you brought something incredible."

...What did he say?

Isn't it because of the magician? Claire was a little confused.

"so what?"

"The Lord Paladin told us to keep a close eye on you. The investigation is not yet complete!"

What should I do? Should I force my way out? The enemy is just a few knights at the Divine Enlightenment Realm.

Claire wanted to be ruthless. She clenched her fists, her knuckles turning white from the exertion. Beat these people?

The exit is just around the corner, what should we do?
